The Historical Heft of Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ has been named as the most significant person in human history ever, according to a new rankings system that based its listing on Wikipedia data. The list was created by analyzing the impact a figure has had on people's opinions over history.

Two computer scientists used the popular online encyclopedia to creat a list of the Top 10 Most Significant Figures in Human History by measuring the impact on opinions certain individuals have had over time, and how that has reflected onto their Wikipedia pages.

Jesus Christ came in number one in the listing, beating out Frenchman Napoleon Bonaparte into second, with Englishman William Shakespeare coming in third.
